Half from cask at Barony Bar in Edinburgh. And another half at the Wethersppons real ale festival. Straw-golden body topped by a tiny white head. Smell of leafy hops. Hints of hop resin in flavour. Dry bittersweet ending. Alright, but rather one dimensional [Edinburgh 24.10 and at the Counting House in Dundee 07.11.2008]

Cask at Haymarket. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a small tan head. Light toasted malty aroma. Flavour is light swet fruity with a smooth mouthfeel and light roasted malty flavour. Light citrusy fruity in the finish. Medium biter and mild acidic from the roasted malt.

[Cask (gravity) at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] Straw body, no head; damp grain aroma; thin fruity malt flavours, with some apple and orange - like a weak fruit squash; little bitterness to finish. Best forgotten.

On draught (anywhere in Bayswater): Deep golden with a smaller, lacy white head; sourish-grainy nose with a tinge of vegetables; light to medium sweetish-sourish flavour, light bodied; short bitter-sourish finish. Drikable, not nice........

Bottle. Pours a clear, dark golden beer with a decent beige head. Some lacings too. Roasted, fruity nose with some caramel sweetness. Full-bodied, with flavors of roasted malt and some caramel sweetness. Pleasant hops giving fruity flavors and a little bitterness. Sweet, roasted finish with some bitterness. As it warms up, it gets some strange malty flavors, so it is best enjoyed quite cold. (081018)

Hazy deep blond color, creamy thin head (sprinkler). Delicate Ale, refreshing, a bit malty, soft, lightly fruity, with a touch of apples, both aroma and flavor.

Golden color. It has a light apple aroma, which is not very positive. Light body, very light flavor, correct bitterness. Too simple.
